Hospital Worker Safety Fact Sheet

CLM created this infographic as a fact sheet detailing the safety concerns for hospital workers in the United States. It highlights that hospitals are one of the most dangerous workplaces with an average of 5.5 injuries per 100 workers, which is double the average injury rate of private industry. Hospital workers are at risk due to the need to move patients, the presence of contagious diseases and sharp devices, potential violence from patients with mental health issues, a culture that may prioritize work over safety and unpredictable events. The fact sheet advocates for safer hospital environments to reduce caregiver fatigue and stress, suggesting the use of management systems and safety protocols.
